Arya is 1 Month Old

Holy cow, I cannot believe that it has been a month since the birth of Arya. Arya just had her third wellness visit this past week. She now weighs 10 pounds and 4oz, measuring 21 ½ inches. She will receive her 2-month vaccination shots next visit. I’m hoping that it isn’t too dreadful for her. While we were at the doctor’s office she decided as I was feeding her that she was going to go poopy. And of course the diaper leaked and I had poop all over my leg. I think she was smiling during that time frame. She is definitely David’s daughter.
Arya is doing great. She is a good baby. She is getting into a schedule, which has been helpful towards me. She generally goes to bed by 9:30pm and will sleep until 3-4am for a feeding and diaper change. I try to go to bed soon after she does so I feel rested. So far, that has been working. She hardly ever cries. She will generally fuss when she needs to be changed or is hungry. She finally lost her belly button cord about two weeks ago, and we think that Maggie, my mom’s dog, must of ate it. I was disappointed about that. I would have like to have saved it for her baby book. Arya loves bath time. She loves the warm water and kicking her legs. We gave her bath this evening in her new whale tub and she slept throughout the bath. I couldn’t believe it. The water must have been that relaxing. Arya is becoming more alert everyday, enhancing her attention span, at times looking in the direction that her name is called, looking at mom and dad when we are talking, and smiling. I love when she smiles. You can’t help but be happy. Her facial expressions are so funny. Arya is just a character and David and I are enjoying every minute. I feel so blessed that she is apart of our lives. I’m looking forward to when she starts cooing and baby talking.
